A birdless heaven, sea dusk, one lone star Piercing the west, As thou, fond heart, love's time, so faint, so far, Rememberest. The clear young eyes' soft look, the candid brow, The fragrant hair, Falling as through the silence falleth now Dusk of the air. Why then, remembering those shy Sweet lures, repine When the dear love she yielded with a sigh Was all but thine?

Ein Himmel, vogelleer, Dämmer vom Meer, einzig ein Stern blitzt hell von Westen her, und du, lieb’ Herz gedenkst indes der Liebe, die so fern, und so entrückt nunmehr. Die Unschuldsstirn, der jungen Augen sanfter Mut, der duftend’ Locken Pracht, die fallen wie das Dunkel fällt, wenn alles ruht, durch Stille in die Nacht. Warum in der Erinn’rung jener Reize, süß und zag, denn unzufrieden sein, war doch die Liebe, der sie seufzend sich ergab so gut wie dein?
